43.0906° N, 73.4987° W

Quick Overview

Greenwich sits in the rolling hills of eastern New York's Washington County, where the Battenkill River cuts through farmland and forest on its way to Vermont. This quiet corner of the state offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of Albany, just 45 minutes south, with covered bridges, antique shops, and some of the region's best trout fishing waters. The area feels authentically rural – working farms still dot the landscape, and you'll spot more horses than traffic lights.

For RV camping, Greenwich keeps things simple with several campgrounds that focus on the basics done well. You won't find massive resort-style parks here, but what you will discover are some free camping options and well-maintained facilities that put you right in the heart of this pastoral setting. Most parks offer full hookups for those who want all the conveniences, while the surrounding state lands provide opportunities for more primitive camping experiences.

From your campsite, you're perfectly positioned to explore the Battenkill Valley's covered bridges – there are six within a 20-minute drive, including the photogenic Eagleville Bridge. The Cambridge Valley and Hoosic River corridors offer excellent cycling on quiet country roads, while the nearby Battenkill itself draws fly fishermen from across the Northeast. Antique hunters will find plenty to explore in the villages of Cambridge and Salem, both easy day trips from any Greenwich campground.

This area attracts RVers who appreciate a slower pace and genuine small-town character. The campgrounds tend to be smaller, family-run operations where you'll actually get to know the owners. If you're looking for water parks and organized activities, you'll want to head elsewhere. But if you want to wake up to farm views, spend your days exploring back roads, and enjoy some of the state's best stargazing, Greenwich delivers exactly that experience.

The camping season runs strong from May through October, with peak foliage season in early October drawing the biggest crowds. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable weather and the best rates. Summer can get warm and humid, but the tree cover at most campgrounds provides natural cooling.

Traveling to Greenwich by RV

Getting to Greenwich involves some genuinely scenic driving, especially if you approach from the south via Route 29 through the Battenkill Valley. From Albany, take I-787 north to Route 7 east, then pick up Route 29 north – this route follows the river for much of the way and showcases exactly why people fall in love with this region. The roads are well-maintained and RV-friendly, though you'll encounter some hills and curves that require attention.

From Vermont, Route 313 west offers a beautiful approach through Arlington and over the state line. This road can get narrow in spots, so larger rigs should stick to the main routes. Interstate access is straightforward via I-87 to Albany, then the local routes mentioned above. The drive from New York City takes about three hours, while Boston RVers can expect around two and a half hours.

Fuel up before you arrive – gas stations are limited in the immediate Greenwich area, though you'll find options in Cambridge (10 minutes south) and Hoosick (15 minutes north). The Stewart's Shop in Cambridge is particularly RV-friendly with easy access and decent fuel prices. For major supplies, the Hannaford in Hoosick offers the best selection and parking for larger rigs. Stock up on groceries there, as local options are pretty limited.

Explore the Greenwich Area

The Battenkill Campground consistently gets the best reviews from RVers, mainly because the owners actually live on-site and maintain everything meticulously. Their sites along the river are worth the extra cost if you can snag one. For those looking to save money, check out the state forest lands just north of town – they don't offer hookups, but the boondocking is free and the scenery is hard to beat.

Don't miss the Saturday farmers market in Cambridge (May through October) – it's small but features genuine local producers, and the fresh corn and maple syrup are exceptional. For dining, the Cambridge Hotel serves surprisingly good pub food, while the Battenkill Valley Creamery in Salem makes ice cream that's worth the 20-minute drive. Both spots have parking that works for smaller RVs.

Bring your camera to the Eagleville Covered Bridge, especially in early morning when the light hits the water just right. Dog owners will love the rail-trail that runs along the old railroad bed – it's flat, shaded, and extends for miles in both directions. The trail connects to the larger Battenkill Valley Trail system, giving you plenty of options for longer walks.
